Born 1963. Dwayne Polee is an American basketball player and basketball coach.

Dwayne L. Polee Sr. (born March 2, 1963) is an American former professional basketball player and coach who has been the director of player development at the University of San Francisco since 2012. From 2007 to 2010, he was the director of basketball operations at the University of Southern California. Polee graduated from Manual Arts High School in 1981 and first attended the University of Nevada, Las Vegas before transferring to Pepperdine University in 1982.
